Empowering the Future Together: How Honeywell and Microsoft Are Driving Innovation Across Industries

Early in my technology career at Hewlett Packard, I quickly learned how crucial partnerships are. Back in the 2000s, I managed a large Regional Bell Operating Company, where I discovered that two things were vital: collaborating closely with their other technology providers and ensuring our solutions integrated seamlessly to solve their challenges.

That lesson has stayed with me, and you know what? Not much has changed. While technology has advanced dramatically, the core needs of customers remain the same. Today’s clients still face gigantic challenges and understand that to succeed, accelerate their business, and deliver industry-leading products and services, they need trusted, enterprise-class partners to help them get there.

Clients now expect their partners to drive outcomes in key areas like digitalization, energy transition, asset reliability, OT cybersecurity, and building operations efficiency. That’s where the Honeywell-Microsoft partnership comes in. I believe we’re setting new benchmarks for partnership excellence, and here’s how we’re making a difference

Honeywell and Microsoft: A Strategic Partnership That’s Delivering Results

When Honeywell and Microsoft first announced our partnership, some questioned how it would unfold.
